Chapter Seventy-One: The Human Heart
The woman saw that although her mother-in-law was dressed plainly, it was extremely clean, and she was wearing a fine silk dress with her mother-in-law's Yue silver bottle, which was specially made for Yue by Li Xiao'e. In fact, she also made one for Yue Yun. But Yue Yun didn't like to wear it, so he directly handed over the clothes to his mother-in-law for safekeeping. The woman hurriedly handed the hot tea to her mother-in-law, and said with a smile, "Old lady, it's not easy to travel long distances, right?" But when you get to our Ying Tianfu, you can be regarded as going to heaven. By the way, what does the old lady want to inquire? ”
At this time, a young woman next to the middle-aged woman also took a cup of boiling water and handed it to Yue Yinju, and said with the same smile, "Little sister, drink a glass of water to quench your thirst." Little sister, so beautiful. ”
The mother-in-law glanced at the young woman, and found that her eyebrows were a little similar to the middle-aged woman, and knew that they were a mother-daughter relationship, so she immediately smiled and said, "This is your daughter, really handsome." I'm a newcomer, and I don't know the rules of Tianfu. But I see that you don't seem to be afraid of the army crossing the border. Your daughter is so handsome, do you dare to lead her to the side of the road to bring water to the soldiers, not afraid of being snatched away by some soldiers? ”
When the woman heard her mother-in-law's words, she couldn't help laughing. "I said old lady. I asked my girl to deliver water, just in the hope that my girl would be favored by a sergeant. To tell you the truth, my husband died early, and there is only one son and one daughter left under his knees, and the son is still young, so he can't be a protector, so I can only hope that my daughter can marry the protector. Let me tell you, old lady, in our Yingtianfu, only good men can be soldiers, and no one wants second-rate people to be soldiers. As for the robbery of the people's daughters that the old lady feared, it could not have happened to the people's protectors. Our people's protector army is a pro-army trained by Yue Shuai, all of them are heavenly soldiers and generals, how can they be as shameless as those bandit troops in the past? ”
When the woman said the word Yue Shuai, her face was full of gratitude, and the mother-in-law was secretly happy, and asked tentatively. "Is this Yue Shuai you are talking about really that good? You seem to trust him too much. That's not good. There are still generals who are hypocritical. ”
The mother-in-law didn't expect this sentence to completely anger the mother and daughter. Seeing that her mother-in-law dared to suspect Yue Fei's hypocrisy, the woman immediately snatched the tea from her mother-in-law's hand and fell to the ground at once. Then he glared and said, "I say, you old lady, although you dress modestly, your granddaughter wears fine silk." You must be a rich family. Hum. No wonder so suspicious. Let me tell you, you can say bad things about anyone in Ying Tianfu, but you can't say bad things about Yue Shuai. Shed crocodile tears?! It is you eunuchs who are hypocritical. On weekdays, you are powerful and blessed, and you oppress the people, and when the golden dog comes, you will only hold your head and run away. Yue Shuai is completely different from you. ”
At this point, the woman paused, wiped the saliva that had splashed on her face with her sleeve, and continued to say loudly, "Yue Shuai was born in a commoner, just like us poor people. So Yue Shuai had a heart of compassion for the poor, and he was so kind to us that he had nothing to say. Why should we doubt him? Of course, although Yue Shuai is also a civilian, but he is the martial arts star in the sky, the reincarnation of the Dapeng bird, I heard that when he was born, there was a big bird that landed on the roof of his house, its wings spread, and it was more than three zhang long. Forget it, what to say to you self-righteous old lady! Dani, let's go. Our water cannot be given to these unconscionable people. Yue Shuai took them to our Ying Tianfu, and he dared to make irresponsible remarks about Yue Shuai? Hmph, except for Master Li Ba, the consciences of other rich people have been eaten by dogs. ”
When the mother-in-law saw that a country woman who didn't know Yue Fei at all defended Yue Fei like this, she was completely relieved. So the mother-in-law was not angry in the face of the middle-aged woman who was splashing with saliva. I was angry with Yue Yin, who was drinking water. The little girl put the water bowl on the ground at once, crossed her waist with both hands, looked up at the middle-aged woman, and said in a tender voice, "You lady is so unreasonable!" How dare you scold my grandmother. Believe it or not, let my brother beat you? ”
As soon as Yue Yinhua's words fell, Yue Yun and Niu Tong, who were carrying snowflake knives, stepped forward. Yue Yun saw that her sister's face was flushed with anger, thinking that this middle-aged woman had bullied her sister, so she immediately waved the snowflake knife in her hand, which scared the middle-aged woman.
The mother-in-law was afraid that Yue Yun would hurt the woman, so she hurriedly shouted, "Yun'er, stop!" This sister-in-law is not a bad person, what are you carrying a knife for? Don't put the knife down yet. Niu Tong, you also put down the knife. ”
This woman was a little frightened when she saw that Yue Yun Niutong's two children were wearing helmets and armor and holding steel knives in their hands. She wasn't afraid that Yue Yunniu would cut herself, she was afraid that she would offend high-ranking officials and eunuchs. Although Yue Fei canceled the etiquette of kneeling in Yingtianfu, many people's hearts have not yet stood up. This woman is the one who has not yet stood up.
The woman took her daughter's hand, picked up the two bowls, turned and prepared to leave. At this moment, I saw a general-like man leading four village elders over.
Walking up to his mother-in-law, the general-looking person said with a smile, "Mother, this is Wang Xiang Lao of Wangjiazhuang, Zhao Xiang Lao of Zhaojiazhuang, Liu Xiang Lao of Xiaohewan, and Sun Xiang Lao of Tongzipo." They heard that your old man had arrived, and they had to come to see you. ”
The four villagers glanced at their mother-in-law, and they all knelt on the ground with a bang. "Little Lao'er meets Mrs. Yue."
Because they knelt down too fast, even Yue Fei didn't have time to hold them. The mother-in-law repeatedly asked them to get up, but the four village elders repeatedly claimed that they did not dare to talk to the old lady on a shoulder to shoulder. It wasn't until the mother-in-law said that they would kneel down if they didn't get up again, that the four villagers hurriedly got up from the ground, but their legs still didn't stand up straight.
Yue Fei said unhappily, "Four village elders, aren't we Ying Tianfu forbidden to kneel a long time ago?" Why are you still like this? ”
The old man of Tongzipo's Sun Xiang coughed, and said with a straight face, "Yue Shuai, we know that you have canceled the kneeling salute. When we saw you, didn't we kneel? But Yue Shuai also said that the prince of heaven and earth still has to kneel. We knelt down with the old lady because we were grateful that the old lady gave birth to a good son. The old lady deserves to kneel with us. ”
Speaking of this, Elder Sun turned to his mother-in-law and said in a loud voice, "Old Madam Yue, do you know that without Yue Shuai, our Ying Tianfu would have been turned into a blank land by the chaos of the army. Where will there be a peaceful life and work today? Old Madam Yue, if Yue Shuai is the martial arts star in the sky, you are the queen mother. ”
The more the old man Sun talked, the more he tended to pat himself on the back, and his mother-in-law was a little embarrassed to listen. Hurriedly stopped Old Man Sun's words. "The four village elders respect my family Goro so much, and I am naturally happy. But I'm just an ordinary country woman, and Gorou is also a country boy who knows how to do martial arts. Don't myth us. That would cost our mother and son's life. ”
The four villagers saw that their mother-in-law really didn't have a fight, and finally stood up straight. But they stood up straight, and the mother and daughter next to them knelt down.
The woman thought that her mother-in-law was an official eunuch, but she never expected it to be Yue Shuai's mother. Seeing that the most prestigious villagers in the township knelt down to say goodbye, the woman's legs and stomach had already cramped. Completely unconscious, he fell to his knees.
Zhao Xianglao took a look and found that the mother and daughter were from his own village. Hurriedly said, "Osmanthus, you're also here to deliver water?" Do you still want to find a protector as a son-in-law? By the way, you knelt down right. This is Mrs. Yue, Yue Shuai's mother-in-law. ”
The woman's mouth trembled for a long time, and at last she spoke. "Old Madam Yue's life. I just had eyes without beads, and my mouth without barriers. Mrs. Yue, you have a big ** amount, don't take it to heart. ”
Zhao Xianglao asked in wonder, "What's wrong?" ”
Yue Yinhua pointed with his little hand and said angrily, "She scolded my grandma just now." ”
"What?" Zhao Xianglao's face turned white at that time, and the beard on his chin trembled. "I said Osmanthus mother, you dare to insult Mrs. Yue, you are really blind. I, I, I'm going to expel you from our Zhaojiazhuang. ”
When Yue Fei heard that this woman dared to insult his mother, he couldn't help but feel angry. Yue Fei is a generous person, and he usually doesn't care much about these things. But Yue Fei can allow others to be disrespectful to himself, but he will never allow others to be disrespectful to his mother. Don't say that a country woman, that is, the queen mother, dares to insult her mother-in-law, Yue Fei will definitely dare to stab the queen mother to death with one shot.
At this time, the mother-in-law already understood her son's status in the hearts of the people of Yingtianfu. knew that if he didn't come out to speak, the mother and daughter would definitely be in trouble. He stepped forward, lifted the woman from the ground, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to kill you. Fei'er won't kill you either. You mothers and daughters are good people. I also want to thank you. ”
Speaking of this, the mother-in-law turned her head and said to Zhao Xianglao, "Zhao Lao, this mother and daughter are good people. Don't expel her from Zhuangzi. "Zhao Xiang Lao Lian claimed yes.
Seeing that Yue Fei's face was still angry, his mother-in-law hurriedly told him what had just happened. Only then did everyone understand that the mother and daughter were defending Yue Fei. It's just because I don't know my mother-in-law that I made this big oolong.
When the mother-in-law got back on the ox cart and the group continued to march towards Yingtianfu, several villagers standing on the side of the road breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhao Xiang's old heart palpitated and said, "Osmanthus mother, you have met a living Bodhisattva today." If it weren't for Mrs. Yue's intercession, you would be sad today. ”
The old man of Tongzipo, Sun Xiang, said happily, "Mrs. Yue has no shelf, she is simply a bodhisattva." Alas, we should be the people of Tianfu really burned high incense. Although Yue Shuai is from Xiangzhou, even Mrs. Yue took it over this time, so she must have taken root in our Yingtianfu. As long as we have Yue Shuai in Tianfu and Master Li Ba, we will definitely have a good life. ”
"That's for sure." Not only the other three villagers thought so, but even the mother and daughter who had just settled down in horror also thought so.
